Many gamers want a PS5.
According to official announcements from Saturn and Media Markt, only a few have hopes of receiving one in 2020.
Since the release, the
PS5 has
been completely
sold out
, and many gamers have so far been left empty-handed.
Sony will
announce, perhaps before
Christmas,
a
replenishment of the console
, which will then be available from
dealers
.
Media Markt
and
Saturn
contradict - and thus destroy the hopes of pre-orderers.
Update from Monday,
December 21, 2020, 3:52 p.m.:
Many
PS5 fans
went
empty-handed
in the first, second and third
wave of
sales.
Why?
The popular
Playstation console
has been sold out since its release - but
Sony has
announced that it will soon be replenishing it.
Saturn
and
Media Markt have
now destroyed this newly awakened hope: the electronics stores informed their buyers by email that the chance of a
Playstation 5 was
next to nonexistent this year.
Hopeful pre-orderers will have to be content with waiting until next year.
Resellers
and platforms such as
Ebay
profit from this situation
.

Sony wanted to make its PS5 fans happy, but Saturn and Media Markt are countering it.

No more Playstation 5 in 2020?
Twitter users react furiously to the new Media Markt announcement
A pre-orderer published
a message from
Media Markt
on
saying
: "Due to the very
high demand
and a
tense delivery situation
, we can unfortunately
no longer
deliver the
console you
want this year
."
The Twitter user is angry.
He ordered the
Playstation 5
at the end of September - and
canceled
this order after the email from
Media Markt
.
"Ordered on September 25th.
/ canceled on 19.12.
/ put your PS5 somewhere else, ”he wrote as a comment to the mail.
# WoBleibtMeinePS5 Mail I received yesterday at 6 p.m.
91670xxx / Digital / Berlin / no advance payment / ordered on 25.09.
/ canceled on 19.12.
/ Put your PS5 somewhere else @mediamarkt_de / Thanks @gameswirtschaft pic.twitter.com/Zb8ZnFI8fb

PS5 delivery before Christmas?
Sony now wants to provide replenishment
First message from Sunday, December 20th, 2020, 1:03 p.m .:
Kassel / Tokyo - On November 19th,
Sony launched
the
Playstation 5
and yet many fans are still not equipped with the console: The
PS5
has been completely sold out since its release.
But the electronics company has already announced a
fourth
wave of
sales
that could even save Christmas for many gamers.
Sony
cannot keep up
with the
demand
for the latest PlayStation, because the supply was comparatively much lower and many
Console fans were disappointed.
The electronics giant Media Markt even experienced a real shit storm on Facebook because of the delivery time of the PS5.
Can PS5 gamers get excited before Christmas?
- Sony announces fourth wave
According to a survey by ingame.de *, 70 percent of gamers are still without a
PS5 console
, because the
PS5 was
quickly sold out
in the first
waves of
pre-orders
.
But now there is even hope to
get hold of
a console before
Christmas
.
Thanks to all gamers for making the PS5 launch our biggest console launch ever.
Due to the huge demand, we confirm that retailers will be receiving more PS5 inventory before the end of the year.
Please keep in touch with your local retailers.

In a tweet on November 25th, the German
Playstation Twitter account announced
that due to the “enormous demand”, more stocks will be provided before the end of the year, which will then be received by
retailers
and also sold there.
But where and when will the
console
be available soon?
Saved christmas?
Sony confirms new PS5 stocks - dealers should sell more consoles
As Gameswirtschaft, a news magazine for the computer game industry, reports, dealers such as
Amazon, Expert, GameStop and Müller
are to receive
stocks from the fourth
wave of sales
.
Fans are therefore advised to keep an eye on the websites of the retailers mentioned in order not to miss the next wave.
However
, it is still unclear
whether Media Markt and Saturn will also enter the business before
Christmas
.
Since the past sales
waves have
already degenerated into chaos, gamers should be prepared for the fact that the
fourth wave
could be similarly chaotic.
With the help of a
Twitch bot
,
however,
buying a new
PS5
is made easier: The bot in question runs on the “xMellowbagx” channel of the live streaming video portal Twitch, which is automatically updated around the clock and shows the current availability of the
console
from German providers .
Another wave of PS5 sales before Christmas possible: fans of the Sony console won't miss any news
In addition, a
fan tool,
with which the
Playstation 5 can be
pre-ordered and also bought, automatically
informs
users with a tweet as soon as the
console is available
to buy again on Amazon Germany.

The latest PlayStation has been on the market since November 19th, but so far many gamers have missed out.
Due to the high demand, Sony has now announced another wave of sales and this should make many console fans happy before the end of the year.

But it is very unlikely that all gamers can be supplied with the next wave, which is why, despite all the tips and tools, one thing still applies to many PS5 fans: patience.
